Earthworks and Piling Mat
Halfway through the demolition works on phase 1 we were successfully awarded the groundworks package. This involved a 3 meter reduced dig and then installation of a piling mat in 200mm layers.
The area was a 3000m2 areas with a 1000mm deep piling mat.
We supplied an engineer to set out the levels to suit the client’s construction requirements.
We excavated three meters down across the area, transported and stockpiled the excavated material. Following this, on three sides, we constructed a 45 degree batter.
We then compacted the ground using a ride on roller, layered in 6f5 and geo-grid in 200mm layers up to 1m.
An independent engineer then carried out compaction tests on completion.
Orpington Maintenance Delivery Unit have been utilising Econ’s Services since the commencement of the new Environmental Services contract in October 2021. Since mobilisation Econ have provided our DU with a very efficient and professional service. The customer service and contract team are very friendly and approachable. I use the services of Econ primarily for Non-Emergency call outs which includes both general litter picking and fly tipping jobs as well as larger and more complex waste issues. Every job that I raise is acknowledged and responded to within a quick timescale. Following the completion of each job, I receive a signed completion certificate including photos and detailed commentary. Similarly the period payment reporting is issued on time with full back up information for ease of reference. This enables us to identify jobs and authorise payment quickly. I can strongly recommend the services of Econ who have improved the levels of service previously experienced and assisted our team with the resolution of a number of more difficult and costly cases on our patch.
